Recently, I went into my eMail bag and read a message titled, “Toys R Us $500 Gift Card, get one for Free for the Holidays”.
I thought to myself, “Yeah…right… this has the tell-tale signs of those folks in Columbia, SC”. Sure enough, the have added a new DBA to their long list of “doing business as” businesses - RetailReportCard.com. This makes sense - they already have the Consumer Product Test Panel, so Retail Report Card is a logical progression.
Supposedly, the kind and generous folks at 5 Lake Carolina Way Suite 260 Columbia, SC 29229 (the Freeslide address), are going to give away a FREE (F ..R…E…E…) $500 Toy’s R Us Shopping spree! Whoo hooo! That would be great, especially since I heard that the owners of Toy’s R Us are selling off the company after this final season of Christmas 2004 (too much competition from Target and Walmart). I am just truly SURE that if I go through all the “Columbian Hoops” that the Lake Carolina Way folks will have me go through, I’ll get that $500 shopping spree. Oh boy I can’t wait! Then I can just buy some of the stuff they’ve promised me all summer long, like the X-box,the playstation, the digital cameras, etc. etc. and I’ll call things even.
